Spicy Simple Syrup Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar — the base providing smooth sweetness and helping create the syrup’s classic texture.
• 1 cup water — essential for dissolving sugar and infusing spice, creating the right syrup consistency.
• 2-3 fresh chili peppers (such as jalapeño or serrano), sliced thinly — for delivering the signature spicy kick ; adjust quantity to suit heat preference.
• 1 small cinnamon stick (optional) — adds a warm undertone that enhances the spice profile.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) — contributes a subtle aromatic sweetness that rounds out the flavor.
